Be part of a new Ultimate Guide To Becoming A Driving Instructor
Intelligent Instructor is offering driving instructor trainers the opportunity to be part of a new industry guide.
It is also looking for contributions from all ADIs and PDIs commenting on the resources that you think are essential and helpful for becoming a driving instructor and making a success of this new career.
Driving success
Some say there has never been a better time to become a driving instructor.
Demand from learners is at an all-time high, partially fuelled by the backlog caused by the period of inactivity during the pandemic.
Also, according to the numbers currently in the education system, the number of young people who will be looking to learn to drive over the next decade looks like it will grow.
So, there is little chance of demand abating, and with it comes increasing hourly rates for ADIs.
Becoming a driving instructor is as financially more attractive than ever, and Intelligent Instructor is looking to help prospective new instructors understand what it involves and how to make the most of the opportunities.
The road to becoming a fully qualified driving instructor requires hard work.
Government statistics for the period up to June ‘23 show that the pass rate for the Part 1 test (theory) was 37.5%, the Part 2 test (driving ability) was 53.2%, and Part 3 (instructional ability) was 34.8%.
Individuals need more helpful advice to improve these statistics, and this guide will offer them help and support through this journey.
